Background (list the history of your character here. Created Characters Must Be Thorough!): Born as the Clone Wars ended, Bastion was raised by a very poor family on Corellia. One day, two inept Rebel operatives broke into the family house, attempting to hide out from pursuing stormtroopers. Bastion's father attempted to get them to leave, but in their panic, they shot and killed him. A few moments later, the stormtroopers entered the house and killed the rebels. From that day on, Bastion nursed a deep hatred of the Rebel Alliance. When he was old enough, he ran away from his home on Corellia, abandoning his mother and sister, and joined the Imperial Army. Whilst under the intense training to become a stormtrooper, his actions were observed by one of the top instructors of the academy - one Captain Fordo. Upon a particularly outstanding training mission, in which he saved fifteen of his comrades from a botched bomb, he was given the option to join the new Storm Commando program. Under special training from Fordo himself, Bastion learnt a variety of new skills, from sabotage and subterfuge to starfighter piloting and space battle tactics. Bastion's Commando team was utilised in the final months before the Battle of Endor. After a particularly long and brutal campaign against Rebel forces on Jabiim, Bastion was called back to Coruscant. While the Imperial Officers stationed there were arguing over control now that the Emperor was dead, Renn organised the defence of Coruscant himself. He held the New Republic forces off for seven days and seven nights, even going so far as to used downed AT-ST's as road blocks. Eventually the Imperial forces were overwhelmed, and Bastion was among the last men to leave the planet, firing until his gun ran out of ammunition. He took the loss of Coruscant as a personal insult, and now runs strike missions on the New Galactic Republic.

Sample Post (write a sample post that is at least 4 paragraphs long and containing at least 3 lines of dialogue):
Nomad City
Bastion led the troopers through the streets of the city. Every now and then, a squad would peel off and set down a checkpoint in case of Rebel soldiers breaching the perimeter of the Imperial sector. As they went, thermal detonators were placed at structural weakpoints, in case the venture went badly. At the very worst they could still deny the enemy some key assets - namely the fuel that they so badly required.
"This way!" Renn shouted, holding his heavy blaster pistol in the direction of the hangar bay. He'd have much preferred his standard blaster rifle, but none the less, it was a matter of ritual for the mission commander to have a blaster pistol. It was to reassure the troops, something like that. Either way, he felt uncomfortable, with this entire situation. His cheek still smarted from the right hook he'd recieved from Solo. They would meet again.
They entered the hangar at speed, blasting the few soldiers on duty. The stormtrooper rounded up the civilians and the pilots, heavily under guard. Renn sent five men to search through the cargo areas of the large hauling ships. Eventually one of them waved a hand.
"We've got them sir!"
"Right," Renn said
"Take the engineers and pilots, put them in the back of the ship and get ready for the evac. Get rid of the spares,"
The risks had been huge, the casualties high. The plan had gone off without a hitch. Thrawn had got what he wanted, and Renn had proven himself on his first outing.
